Kareem Canty (Commit Other)

[Xavgrad08]

Kareem Canty
Class 2012
Brooklyn, NY
Position PG
Rivals 3 star ranking


According to the article below X is starting to recruit 6"1 guard Kareem Canty.

http://www.collegiatehoops.net/2011/04/kareem-canty-plans-to-visit-two.html

He is visiting X on Memorial day Weekend. I wonder if this is the contingency plan in case DSR commits elsewhere?

At this point it does not look like X has offered. Here is his profile from espn. http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/recruiting/player/_/id/67067/kareem-canty

[dfcapp]

Looks like he's coming to visit X on June 24th. According to Zags Blog it appears that Rasheen Davis is working on him pretty hard.

http://www.zagsblog.com/2011/05/12/kareem-canty-planning-visits/

[Juice]

Scout.com is much higher on him than Rivals. They have him as a 4 star at #51 overall.

[ThePowerOfX]

Scout.com is much higher on him than Rivals. They have him as a 4 star at #51 overall.

He just tweeted that he was invited to an NBA top 100 camp, always a good sign.

Hes said multiple times he has Xavier at the top of his list, partially due to the fact that he has seen the development of Tu Holloway. I expect to see Canty commit to Xavier towards the end of summer, just a guess though. Give me Canty and Myles Davis and I LOVE the class...

[bobbiemcgee]

Could this turn into another Witherspoon/Canty deal? Maybe DSR/K Canty? Will Canty take Canty's schloarship? I'm confused.

[bobbiemcgee]

Gotta say once again that X is just killin' in the Recruiting game. Lots of talent wanting to come here.

[JimmyTwoTimes37]

2012 has the potential for Xavier to have the best names in the country if all goes as planned:

D'vauntes
Canty aka Nunu
Siiiiiiiiiiiiim
Negus Webster Chan
Myles Davis

Ummm...

If we were to kick Webster Chan off that list and add back in Farr, THAT would be a class.

Good point, I added 1 too many. You don't like Chan? Supposedly he's really high on X too. X has a TON of options going forward when you look at this list and a few others

I love Chan. I just think he would scare the players out of the locker room.

No, but seriously I do like that he is high on X, but I just struggle to understand why we would take another wing player with JMart and Wells on the roster already. But then again, when a top 60 player comes knocking at your door, you find a place for him, not turn him away.

[HuskyMuskie]

Who else is recruiting this Canty who will replace the old Canty, anyway?

[bobbiemcgee]

Alabama
Arizona
Cincinnati
Florida State
Iowa State
Pittsburgh
Providence
Rutgers
Seton Hall
UCLA

He has shown late interest in X and vice versa. He wants to be TU II

[SixFig]

He has shown late interest in X and vice versa. He wants to be TU II

But hopefully he won't wear a tutu

[bobbiemcgee]

Are you ready for this? The kid's nickname is Nu nu. So we would have Nunututu

[muskieman08]

Some good news, some bad news... This was posted on ESPN.com's rumor mill today:


For a brief period, Kareem Canty was one of the most sought after recruits in the 2011 recruiting class. Thanks to a recent reclassification, Canty joined the 2012 class and spoke to Adam Zagoria of Zagsblog.com in regards to a recruiting update.

Who is the most fervent in their pursuit of the 6-foot-1 guard? Providence, Seton Hall, Dayton, Miami (Fla.) are among those listed but it appears Xavier is putting in the most work. Under point man (assistant) Rasheen Davis, XU is working the hardest.

One interesting twist to Canty's recruitment could be the coaching move of Mark Turgeon. Before the A&M coach filled Maryland's vacancy, Canty had planned a visit to College Station. A&M's Scott Spinelli will most likely join Turgeon at College Park, a move that might mean Canty could soon become a Maryland target.

[dfcapp]

According to Adam Zagoria's (Zag's Blog) Tweet:

2012 PG Kareem Canty confirmed he will visit Xavier Thursday. Providence, Miami, SHU. UT & Okla also involved

Ruh-roh. Kareem Canty just tweeted that he 'might make his college decision earlier than he thought' - hes visiting Xavier today


KAREEM CANTY HAS FIVE SCHOOLS IN FRONT; DECISION COULD BE COMING SOON

Canty told NBE via text this morning that Seton Hall, Xavier, Miami, Cincinnati and Dayton were standing out in his recruitment.
“Yes, those schools are leading right now,” said Canty, “but I’m also considering South Carolina, Tennessee and Illinois.

Canty recently visited Kevin Willard’s program at Seton Hall and came away very impressed with what he saw.
“The trip was good, I enjoyed it,” said Canty of the recent SHU unofficial visit. “The campus is better than I thought and I like their coaching staff; they are cool.”
Canty is planning a whirwhind tour of his five favorites, which began with the trip to Seton Hall and will continue tonight to another of his favorites and last through the month of June.
“I leave to visit Xavier tonight and at the end of June I will be visiting Miami, Cincinnati and Dayton,” said Canty.
Canty told NBE that a decision could be on the horizon sooner than he originally anticipated, but there was no current favorite.
“I would make my decision real soon and I want to pick a school that always makes the (NCAA) Tournament and I can go to the next level.”

I kind of interpreted this as a good thing. If DSR was in the car on his way to X on a visit and tweeted that, this place would be going mad with all of us hooligans planning parades in his honor.

We do know that only one of those schools always makes the NCAA tournament.

[PMI]

I expect a commitment from Canty to Xavier sooner rather than later, just from reading between the lines.

[XavierGJG]

Don’t we only have one scholarship left to give for the 2012 class? If Canty committed, how would it affect the recruitment of DSR?

[HuskyMuskie]

Don’t we only have one scholarship left to give for the 2012 class? If Canty committed, how would it affect the recruitment of DSR?

All the know-it-alls around here and insiders to the Xavier basketball program have been saying that we will more than likely oversign in 2012, much like we did in 2011 when Michael Chandler commited, only to find out he had a 0.2739 GPA in high school.

Yes, this means somebody that is not a senior would have to leave. But it has been done before, and by now, seeing as someone leaves almost every year, it should almost be expected.

If you are a Top 100 player, you have a 33% chance of starting as a freshman based off the class of 2010. Adjust your mindset accordingly



That's amazing.

More often or not if you keep passing up good recruits waiting on a specific one you lose out on all of them. I'm sure Mack would still love to get DSR, but, he's already backed out once so I'm sure Mack's patience is limited.

[smileyy]

That's amazing.

In which direction?

They will over-sign by a scholarship for a player like DSR.

I was thinking the same thing! Secondary choice Illinois is the only one that can compare :)

[XURunner85]

well I can read between the lines. Sounds to me he is going to dayton....they always go to the tourney (NIT), they always produce guys who make it big in in in wait what do they produce???? on second thought I think he is 90% sure he is coming here to X. Aftrer he meets Sistger Rose, it will be a done deal....

You are confusing produce meaning production with produce meaning things like watermelons and vegetables.

[Kirmet]

Hey does anyone have any recent update on his visit and overall recruitment?

Does everyone still believe we are the leaders for him?

[Masterofreality]

He absolutely loved his visit.

Since it was unofficial, all you can get officially is from the kid himself- or one of the recruiting reporters- but that is the word.

[MuskieMAN5]

Via rick boering on twitter :
"Kareem Canty's aau coach darryl washington on his X Visit, "if he doesn't end up at Xavier, he'll end up somewhere like there."

[bobbiemcgee]

There ain't anywhere like Xavier, so sounds good.

[Kirmet]

He absolutely loved his visit.

Since it was unofficial, all you can get officially is from the kid himself- or one of the recruiting reporters- but that is the word.

Alex Kline just tweeted a direct quote from Canty on his visit to Xavier: "I loved it."

And the fact that he took a 48 hour unofficial visit, meaning he paid for the visit, should tell you how high Xavier is on his list. Unofficial visits many times are just for the day (like his visit to SHU). Official visits are the one's that are usually 48 hours because the school pays for those. The fact that he took an unofficial 48 hour visit on his dime tells me that Xavier seems to be the clear frontrunner.

http://twitter.com/#!/therecruitscoop

[GreatWhiteNorth]

No other schools on his list has our NCAA tournament record and he wants exposure. I'll say he's in the bag.

I agree the only exception I would make is if Maryland got involved because of a previous relationship with the Texas A & M staff. Maryland could be a wildcard.

[Kirmet]

Tonight FSU offered. Probably along with possibly Maryland the only schools that could compare in terms of recent NCAA appearances with Xavier.

[Kirmet]

THere was a lot of buzz right after his visit that he would pop quickly for Xavier. Is it just accepted that he will be taking some more visits before he finally decides?

BTW-Word is he got hurt at the Rumble today. Sprained his MCL.

[Kirmet]

Musketeerscoop reporting he is down to 3-I assume it is Xavier, Dayton, Miami or perhaps SHU or PC?

Does anyone know for sure?

His Final 3 are Xavier, Miami and Florida State.

Of course udump didn't make the cut.

I hope he recovers totally from his injuries. That makes him kind of a risky pick.

As for his injury not too serious as he actually played some this weekend at the NBAPA in Charlottesville.

wildcard out.

Looks like he added SHU late. My guess is he is throwing them a bone.

Xavier in good shape.

[Kirmet]

Sounds like Xavier is 1st and Miami is 2nd with FSU and SHU outside looking in.

[paulxu]

Apparently I don't understand high school anymore. With these comments I figure he'll be about 21 years old as a freshman at (hopefully) X.

"the dynamic pass-first point guard who recently finished up a postgraduate year at Bridgeton Academy, is ranked seventh among points guards in the Class of 2012 by Scout.com and plans to prep next year at either South Kent (Conn.) or Brewster Academy (Mass.). "

What is a high school "postgraduate" year, and why would you need to go to prep school after your postgraduate year?

[XU-XHI]

Per the New York Post, Kareem Canty considered committing to X on his recent visit but stopped just short. Keep that hook in the water coaches. I'm feeling a big strike coming soon! This would be a great get. A small fish with tons of fight!

[Muskie02]

If and when the Musketeers snag Canty would they still look to oversign a recruit that is not DSR and who is still strongly considering? How good could this class be with Canty, DSR, and two "under the radar" guys in Farr and Bhullar? A lot to be excited about if your a Musketeer fan.

Thanks Xfactor! He seems like a nice young man with high goals. That is a good thing.
I hope we can land him. He could be our next Tu Holloway, who knows!?

GO MUSKIES!

Zach Braziller of the NY Post just tweeted that Canty is going to decide soon...

I guess that could mean any day.

[MarvAlbert]

He has been saying that he wanted to decide before the 4th of July, if I remember correctly.

[Kirmet]

Looks like his visit to Miami was cancelled and he is going to decide this week.

Almost certainly going to be Xavier at this point.


Confirmed with Zagsblog he is NOT visiting this week and will make a decision this week. Almost certainly going to be Xavier.

Kareem Canty Mulling Decision
By Adam Zagoria on June 27, 2011, 2:01PM

Kareem Canty is still considering four schools and says he plans to announce this week.

Seton Hall, Xavier, Miami and Florida State remain on his list although he won’t visit Miami as scheduled on Tuesday.

“The visit just got called off and they wanted me to wait till August,” he said by phone. “I don’t want to wait any longer.”

The 6-foot, 185-pound Canty plans to announce his school this week on SNY.tv.

And this is why i have a love/hate relationship with following recruiting.

[Masterofreality]

We're dealing with hormonal 18 year olds.

Of course they are always consistent in behavior.

You're better off predicting when Armageddon is going to occur rather than predicting what an 18 year old recruit will do.

Bullseye. Trying to rationalize some high school kid's thought process is an exercise in futility.

[Juice]

UCLA has two shooting guards in the class of 2011 but one is a JUCO. I am guessing that playing time isn't an issue.

http://rivals.yahoo.com/basketballrecruiting/basketball/recruiting/commitments/2011/ucla-64

[CleXU]

Looks like Washington is also in the mix now and Canty has allowed someone to take over handling his recruitment instead of himself... whether he ends up here or elsewhere I hope these are people truly looking out for what he really wants and not to increase their own stature or get themselves a job... Pick your "filters" wisely otherwise you might get fed some bull and end up in the shit

http://www.nypost.com/p/sports/high_school/basketball/kareem_canty_opens_it_up_TSpIAEBuepK9bSEtaXfhTM

[HuskyMuskie]

Canty said Xavier, Seton Hall, Florida State and Miami are still in the mix, especially Xavier, which he came close to committing to during his visit there.

“They’re still up there, but it’s not gonna be as easy for them as it was,” he said.

Sweet.

[JimmyTwoTimes37]

Ya these things can change in an instant, especially when you are dealing with top recruits and especially when you are in the A10.

[Xavgrad08]

Maybe I am reading to much into it, but it seems like Long Island director Dana Dingle wants him to choose some where other than Xavier. Dingle told him "Don’t limit yourself”. Dingle also said "He’s a kid that would excel in the Pac 10”.

[Kirmet]

The kid is playing with fire. Xavier could very well pull the offer if he continues to string them along.

[Emp]

The kid is playing with fire. Xavier could very well pull the offer if he continues to string them along.

I dont neg rep, but what a moronic post. It neither serves the short term interests of X recruiting Canty OR the long term recruiting interests to pull an offer. He's not stringing any one along. He is a valuable player, he has the right to make a choice and take as long as he wants to do it. He has the right to change his mind before signing a LOI. No one is getting strung out here.

If your kid suddenly added 15% to his or her SAT percentile, and that opened up scholarships and aid at better colleges, would you say "nevermind, UC is just fine"?

[GoMuskies]

Xavier probably won't pull an offer, but there's certainly the possibility that someone else beats Canty to the scholarship by committing sooner.

[XUFan09]

Xavier probably won't pull an offer, but there's certainly the possibility that someone else beats Canty to the scholarship by committing sooner.

This. They would oversign for Canty, I think, but by that point they may have already oversigned by one.

Sounds like the kind of thing that got Chandler in hot water ala UCF/Louisville.

[Masterofreality]

I like the way that kids can't make up their own minds now about what place is "best for them".

The kid obviously loved Xavier and everything about it. Now an AAU guy is telling him what to do. What? Like Xavier never puts anybody in the "next level"?

What ever happened to visiting a school, liking that school the best, then going there? Last time I checked, Dingle isn't going to school, KCanty is.

Oh, edit. Maybe Dingle is going to school- as an Assistant Coach.

[Kirmet]

This. They would oversign for Canty, I think, but by that point they may have already oversigned by one.

Exactly, it is not a moronic post. Schools pull schollies all the time especially if they think they need to go in a different direction.

I am not saying they will but it is definitely an option and it is not unusual.

[Emp]

Exactly, it is not a moronic post. Schools pull schollies all the time especially if they think they need to go in a different direction.

I am not saying they will but it is definitely an option and it is not unusual.

"Everyone else is doing it." Great reason.

It is unusual at Xavier, and most other places. Please give me a list of the schollies/offers "pulled" for following year recruits a year in advance of entrance for nothing more than the kid is still making up his mind. Please do not include schollies pulled for failure to qualify, major criminal charges and public bad behavior.

This of course begs the idea of whether it is a good idea generally, or for Xavier, or for Xavier recruiting Canty right now, to even talk like this or send such a signal via our best Message Board. Hey Canty, listen up, better shit or get off the pot, we might pull the schollie. Sheesh.

[XUFan09]

Exactly, it is not a moronic post. Schools pull schollies all the time especially if they think they need to go in a different direction.

I am not saying they will but it is definitely an option and it is not unusual.

I wasn't actually agreeing with you. I flat-out disagree that the coaching staff will pull the scholarship offer "if he continues to string them along" (a.k.a. take a little longer to choose when we are still months away from the early signing period). I was agreeing with GoMuskies that the scholarship might not be there later simply because some other recruit took it. That's just the risk he's taking by waiting longer to decide.

[xu95]

Sean Miller was definitely known for pulling scholorships offers. That dude that ended up at Wake Forest is a good example.

Ari Stewart?

[xu95]

Ari Stewart?

Yes, that's who it was. It was pretty well known that Sean told him to commit now or look elsewhere because there wasn't going to be a scholarship anymore.

I think offers are pulled all the time. You are fooling yourself if you don't think Xavier does it. (I'm not referring to you Muskie).

[Kirmet]

Guys-I was not trying to break new ground. It is hard to prove "pulled offers" because schools cannot comment publically on unsigned players.

Furthermore a pulled offer is equivalent to signing someone and then not having a schollie for the original player you offered (Canty). Bottom line is that when he finally does decide the schollie may not be there one way or the other. That is all I meant.

BTW-Did anyone noticed his advisor's quotes on his re-opening of his recruitment. Here is the Dana Dingle quote:

Dingle said he expects Canty’s recruitment to pick up in the coming weeks and months.

“Probably a bunch of other schools backed off because he narrowed his list down to four schools,” Dingle said. “He didn’t realize the impact it would have on the other schools.

“I’m sure [his recruitment] will pick up especially after the first camp.”

Really, so Kareem didn't know that choosing a school meant that he was no longer going to be actively recruited by other schools??? HUH!!! He said he was tired of the recruiting process and that is why he shortened his list and then said he was deciding this week. So how did he not understand that meant that other schools were going to move on assuming they were not the one chosen by Kareem? Odd.

Of course he knew. There is something stinky about this with Dingle. The kid has never, ever expressed any interest for the west coast. He's an east coast kid and it would be easier for any friends/family to see him play if he was east.

I'll say this. If somehow Book Richardson is getting his nose in here (and I have no evidence that shows that) and this kid winds up at AZ as a MoMo replacement, I might throw a shoe through this computer. While Dingle has never said AZ, but UCLA, ever hear of a diversionary tactic? In any event, Dingle sure seems like he's lobbying for something.

For this Pac 10 crap to suddenly come out of left field is, at best, unusual.

[bobbiemcgee]

Not to defend the dingleberry, but AZ has TWO five star guards coming in. Momo may have been riding pine.

[Masterofreality]

In any event, Dingle sure seems like he's lobbying for something.

For this Pac 10 crap to suddenly come out of left field is, at best, unusual.

And it just so happens that Dingle's kid is a basketball player too. Hmmmmm.

Conversation on non-traceable satellite telephone:

Dingle: Hey Coach

Coach: What?

Dingle: You know...I can deliver KCanty to you if my kid comes along as a package deal.

Coach: Sounds like a plan.

I smell Bruno in the middle of all this, too.

Seriously.....Dingle's contacts will point out all the hate going his way on Xavier boards. This will not help Xavier's recruitment of Dingle's advisee. Canty is well within his own best interests to seek advice and counsel. I don't see how posting presumptions of chicanery helps Xavier, or is fair to the athlete.

[GoMuskies]

Yes, MOR's rantings are going to chase away all those prized Dana Dingle recruits. They will all move on to Kentucky, Louisville, North Carolina and Kansas where the fans are imminently more reasonable when their school gets jerked around by a player's advisor/mentor/coach.

[xu95]

I just think it is funny that everytime someone decides he might not want to go to Xavier that there are Shenanigans going on.

Well, it's true. But only because there's _always_ shenanigans of one sort or another going on.

Hey Farva, what's that restaurant you like with all the goofy shit on the walls?

Awesome. Looks like some dude named Hans von Spakovsky gets the pistol whipping!

chicanery


Shenanigans

Neither. Tomfoolery and Hijinks.

I don't think its shenanigans because the kid is free to do whatever he wants to, but it's pretty obvious that Dingle is in his ear affecting his decision. And if he trusts the guy then so be it.

PHILLY — Kareem Canty recently decided to hold off on committing to a college and now it’s paying off.

“I decided to wait because I spoke to my AAU mentor, Dana Dingle, and he told me more schools woudl come out,” Canty, a 2012 point guard from Brooklyn, said Wednesday at the Reebok Breakout Challenge. “Don’t rush nothing, just enjoy the process.”

Canty now includes Baylor, Miami, Seton Hall, Xavier, Illinois, Oklahoma, Washington and UCLA among the schools courting him.
Seton Hall head coach Kevin Willard and associate head coach Shaheen Holloway were tracking him at Reebok.

“I feel all schools are on the same level,” Canty said. “There’s no list right now, I’m just wide open.”

Canty, who is mulling attending South Kent (Conn.) or Brewster (N.H.) Academy next season, plans to take some visits in August and September.

Video: 6-7 PF Daniel Dingle says he's hearing from Auburn, Temple, Xavier, Florida, Miami and Texas


If his son is getting love from Xavier, why would Dingle Sr. be hating on Xavier specifically? He was telling the kid to mull his options a little bit more.

[xufan02]

Dana Dingle who is running Daniel and Kareem's recruitment is a former UMASS star and is the older brother of Daniel.

Per Zach Braziller of the NY Post, Canty is going to visit FSU and Miami next month:

Kareem Canty plans to visit Florida State and Miami in August and Canty is leaning towards South Kent for last year of prep. #hgsce

According to Rick Broering of Rivals it does not appear Xavier is recruiting Canty any more.

Uh, not with Myles Davis committing.

Maybe that is what Canty was alluding to in his Tweet about how his AAU team wasn't looking out for him? Canty was all set to X and Dingle talked him out of it. There ain't no magic offer coming out of the West Coast apparently. Now he's back to Miami- that college basketball hotbed.

You snooze....you lose.

That was my point before when I said he could see the Xavier schollie offer dry up very soon. Mack won't chase players.

BTW-I don't think Davis has anything to do with not recruiting Canty. I think Xavier would have taken both they play different positions. I just think Xavier won't chase him and have moved on to Smith-Rivera and even '13-Derrick Walton.

This is funny. When I saw Myles committed last night I instantly unfollowed Canty because it was pretty clear that Mack had moved on. I hate to laugh but this is pretty damn funny that the kid is now bitter and pissed off that Xavier moved on to better things.

Live and learn, buddy.

Saw that but Reed plays a different position. For PG purposes I meant Derrick Walton.

Xavier moved on to better things? Maybe, but Canty is much, much more athletic than Davis. I'll admit that Davis is a much better shooter at this stage, and also seems like a much nicer young man, but Canty is probably a better point gaurd prospect than Davis. I read one of the recruiting sights say that he was a shooting guard in a point guard body. We'll see!

GO MUSKIES!

[Kirmet]

Word is Canty is looking to do his post-grad year at Westwind Prep in Arizona.

That maybe the motivation for him to look at PAC 10 schools.

[Masterofreality]

Of course he knew. There is something stinky about this with Dingle. The kid has never, ever expressed any interest for the west coast. He's an east coast kid and it would be easier for any friends/family to see him play if he was east.

I'll say this. If somehow Book Richardson is getting his nose in here (and I have no evidence that shows that) and this kid winds up at AZ as a MoMo replacement, I might throw a shoe through this computer. While Dingle has never said AZ, but UCLA, ever hear of a diversionary tactic? In any event, Dingle sure seems like he's lobbying for something.

For this Pac 10 crap to suddenly come out of left field is, at best, unusual.

Hmmmmmmmm. Hmmmmmmmmmm. AND.....HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!

With Davis on the way, however, I will not be throwing any shoes.

[Kirmet]

With the apparent verbal of Semaj and the reports of Xavier not recruiting Kareem anymore does anyone want to question my assertion a few weeks ago that Kareem re-opening his recruitment could lead Xavier and others for that matter to move on from him?????

[JimmyTwoTimes37]

Not that this recent information is anything new or unexpected but now its official:

TheArenaPulse Paul Seaver
According to @CollegiateHoops, Kareem Canty ('12) will not consider Xavier due to the recent additions of Semaj Christian and Myles Davis.

I'd much rather have Christon. Glad we got him.

[bobbiemcgee]

Mack doesn't go for that baloney. Let the kid make up his own mind. As soon as "outsiders" and "handlers" appear, he's out. See Micheal Chandler. Sad 'cuz Canty had a terrific visit to X and seemed very comfortable with Staff/Players.
Dingleberry better come up with a great plan b.

Sounds like Seton Hall

[PMI]

Personally, Canty was always behind DSR, Myles and Christon on my wish list, even when he was about 12 hours away from committing to us. I just get the impression (based off interviews and quotes) that he is a little to self-focused as a player and he can go on binges of poor decision-making when the game isn't coming to him. Don't get me wrong, he is a talent for sure, but I think our other guard prospects (two of which are now commits) have games that better suit our style. I do feel a little bad for the kid, because it sounds like he was handling his recruitment just fine until he let Dingle get involved, but such is life for many big time high school players. It sounds like he may have realized this firsthand, but not until after the bridge was burned between himself and his first choice school. Best of luck to him, but I think this one worked out for the best for us.

So what happened to that "west coast" interest?---- Other than going to prep school in Arizona. Maybe now Dingle contacted a guy at Seton Hall and they are now the "safety school"?

AAU "advisors" ought to keep their freaking mouths shut.......And kids should make up their own minds.

[MADXSTER]

Canty commits to Marshall.

Nice job by Dingle as far as looking out for his player. Talks him out of a Xavier commit and the kid winds up at that basketball powerhouse Marshall.

I repeat: "AAU "advisors" ought to keep their freaking mouths shut.......And kids should make up their own minds."

Meanwhile, XU is miles ahead with errrr, Davis.

[boozehound]

AAU ball in general is a cesspool. It's unfortunate the was these losers mess with kids future so that they can feel like big shots. Dana Dingle, I'm looking in your direction here...

Good luck to Canty at Marshall. Still not sure how he ended up there, of all places.

[Juice]

Canty commits to Marshall.

I figured he would end up at Seton Hall after Kyle Anderson chose UCLA.

[HuskyMuskie]

Ironically enough, Scout.com's profile on Kareem Canty lists his biggest need for improvement as:

"Decision making."

:D

Yeah, he was suspended indefinitely by Bruce Pearl at Auburn about a week ago and now decided to turn pro. I'm sure there will be no red flags there.

It's amazing to read this thread again - Xavier did pretty well with both Semaj Christon and Myles Davis.

[RealDeal]

So glad x stayed away from this kid.

He pulled a Jmart!

Leading scorer suspended by Pearl? Those are words that probably never have been uttered before.

Lol he would have his phone and would be texting on the bench when they gave him a breather at Marshall, trust me, we dodged a HUGE bullet.
